"You really have gone through a lot in just a few months."
Akari spoke after remaining silent for a moment.
"Yes..."
Noah gave a helpless sigh.
Akari lowered her gaze, carefully organizing everything he had told her.
"Hmm... So, according to your theory, the reason you were brought here has something to do with Damien?"
"Yes."
Noah nodded.
"You believe that stone slab activated the portal because Damien's blood spilled onto it?"
"Exactly."
His expression turned serious.
"As I mentioned before, Damien is blessed by the Sun God. And I'm not talking about the way people casually use the word blessed."
Akari quietly listened.
"Sometimes, when someone is born with an extraordinary innate ability or possesses an unusually powerful talent, people say that person has been 'blessed by the gods.' But that's mostly just an expression."
Noah shook his head.
"Damien is different."
His blue eyes narrowed.
